Course Policies
§ Do not expect that everything said during the lecture will be
documented in the lecture notes.

§ Expect that everything “said” during a lecture or tutorials will be

known by all students. So, if you do not attend, then please
frequently update or “at least” ask !

§ Your responsibility is to frequently check the course website

(BKeL) regularly for any announcements or materials

Signal Processing
§ Humans are the most advanced signal processors
▫ speech and pattern recognition, speech synthesis,…

§ Encounter many types of signals in various applications

▫ Electrical signals: voltage, current, magnetic and electric fields.
▫ Mechanical signals: velocity, force, displacement.
▫ Acoustic signals: sound, vibration,…
▫ Other signals: pressure, temperature,…

§ Most real-world signals are analog

▫ They are continuous in time and amplitude
▫ Convert to voltage or currents using sensors and transducers

§ Analog circuits process these signals using

▫ Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Amplifiers

§ Analog signal processing examples

▫ Audio processing in FM radios
▫ Video processing in traditional TV sets
CO2035 – Digital Signal Processing --- Course Introduction 11

Analog Signal Processing

§ Accuracy limitations
▫ Component tolerances, undesired nonlinearities

§ Limited repeatability due to

▫ Tolerances, Temperature, Vibration

§ Sensitivity to electrical noise

§ Limited dynamic range for voltage and currents

§ Inflexibility to changes

§ Difficulty of implementing certain operations

▫ Nonlinear operations, Time-varying operations

§ Difficulty of storing information

CO2035 – Digital Signal Processing --- Course Introduction 12

What is Digital Signal Processing?

§ Convert naturally occurring analog signals to digital form.
§ Represent analog data as an approximated digital version or vice-versa to
represent digital data as an approximate representation of an analog signal.
CO2035 – Digital Signal Processing --- Course Introduction 13

Digital Signal Processing

§ Pros
▫ Remove unwanted noise
▫ Encode/Encrypt the data for secure transmission
▫ Detect and correct data
▫ Process, store, transmit, and reproduce data more easily
▫ Dynamic range can be controlled using floating point numbers
▫ Flexibility can be achieved with software implementations
▫ Price/performance and reduced time-to-market

§ Cons
▫ Sampling causes loss of information
▫ A/D and D/A requires mixed-signal hardware
▫ Limited speed of processors
▫ Quantization and round-off errors
